During the Ocean Lab, students apply scientific process and use tools such as identification keys and a squid dissection* to explore five phyla of marine animals: Arthropoda, Mollusca, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, and Chordata. Students are introduced to the rocky shore habitat and the stressors. As they learn about each phylum and they review their key traits along with specific animal ecology. The Ocean Lab program can be adapted to different grade levels to cover a variety of student needs.
